Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It is very interesting reading the responses from the media story. Perhaps it is worthwhile to mention a few facts:

1) Ivan is at the start of a rebuilding process. Although his record is good, realistically, he hasn't achieved anything as yet at the Tigers. In an interview, he said we are a 3-5 year project, I believe the Broncos will want a top coach with a recent, proven track record. They were recently after Bellamy and I feel there is a bit of a gap between Bellamy and Cleary given their records.
\

2) To my mind, Nathan Cleary is still a _potential_ superstar. He hasn't really owned the competition and by his own admission is still coming to grips with the origin arena. There have been many that have shown star potential at an early age and plateaued. For halfbacks I would say Brett Finch, Pearce and even our own Brooks are examples of this. Very good first grade players but not JT or Johns.
\
\
3) Package deals like this can end in tears. As we know, coaches come and go and having your marquee player the son of the coach could be risky if sustained success is not forthcoming. Especially at a place like the Broncos who expect to win.

There may be some truth to the rumour however I think It is a substantial gamble on the Bronco's behalf to sign them both given that they still have a bit to prove.

Yeah good call - that would be a better fit for mine.

Broncs should make a play for robinson.

That would make more sense to me. Premiership winner, consistent finals appearance and used to being in a successful club culture.

And Roosters promote Jason Taylor to coach.
 
With Benji retiring at the end of the year this young bloke would be the perfect replacement. He won't stay at Pennies with Maloney, Cleary and Tyrone May in front of him and all contracted next year.

Ivan would have had some involvement you assume which should help.

Don't get too excited guys, it's only one game. I recall one Luke Brooks and one Matt Frawley having crackers of debut matches as well.

To be correct, it's not his debut.
